Animal Collective member Panda Bear's new solo album Tomboy is out April 12 via Paw Tracks. But first, Panda will finish that 7" series he started last year with the "Surfers Hymn" single, which comes out March 14 on Kompakt (that's the cover art above). The 7" will be backed by a remix of the title track (which is also included on Tomboy) from UK producer Actress. In the meantime, listen to Tomboy's "Last Night at the Jetty" here.

Just last week, it was announced that the album would come out April 19 on Panda's own Paw Tracks label. Now, producer/former Spacemen 3 member Sonic Boom (who had a hand in mixing Tomboy) has taken to a message board to reveal the album's tracklist, which we have confirmed is correct.
